<div class="PlainText">Dear friends in ISCHP,<br>
I am co-organizing a conference that I know many of you will be <br>
interested in:<br>
<br>
Selling Sickness, 2013: People Before Profits<br>
Washington, D.C. Hyatt Capitol Hill<br>
February 20-23, 2013<br>
<a href="http://www.sellingsickness.com" target="_blank">www.sellingsickness.com</a><br>
<br>
The goal of this conference is to increase collaboration and dialog <br>
among consumer health advocates, academic and clinical reformers, and <br>
health journalists to examine and challenge the global tide of disease <br>
mongering. Previous disease-mongering congresses (Australia, 2006, <br>
Amsterdam, 2010) were hugely important but there was no inclusion of <br>
consumer nonprofit activist group, there was no special emphasis on <br>
the women's health movement, and there was no discussion of critical <br>
health as a movement. All these will be included in SS2013.<br>
<br>
I am attaching the SAVE THE DATE notice, and the CALL FOR PAPERS will <br>
be out next week. I hope many of you will submit workshops, papers and <br>
posters.<br>
<br>
Meanwhile, I have three requests:<br>
<br>
1) Please contact me with suggestions for additional conference co- <br>
sponsors. <a href="http://sellingsickness.com/supporters/" target="_blank">http://sellingsickness.com/supporters/</a> We are organizing
<br>
this conference on a shoestring, without any institutional support. We <br>
want co-sponsors from all the groups (academic, consumer, journalist) <br>
involved. We are asking for a minimal ($500) contribution from each <br>
group, but we need to have a lot of them to make this conference <br>
happen. We are also accepting gifts from individuals who will be <br>
listed as Friends.<br>
<br>
2) Please suggest program topics and sensational speakers. We have <br>
been working on this for months, of course, but all ideas are welcome.<br>
<br>
3) If you would like to help with the conference, please let me know. <br>
We have a steering committee and core group, of course, but there's <br>
always more to do. We need more people to coordinate press, help with <br>
volunteers, and help with publicity, for example.<br>
<br>
Please contact me back-channel for all this, and thanks in advance for <br>
all help.<br>
Leonore<br>
